Ricky Gervais’s episode of The Simpsons was a UK ratings winner – claiming Sky One’s highest-ever viewing figures for the cartoon.

A record 2.18 million viewers watched the episode, giving Sky One its highest ever audience for the cartoon comedy. It also became Sky One’s second most-watched show following an episode of Friends that attracted 2.8 million in 2000. A new episode of The Simpsons is usually watched by just over one million viewers on Sky One.
